Trusted bath resealing in Millerston

How we price bath resealing

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath resealing at your home in Millerston

The key to a good reseal is getting all of the old silicone out. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, wet rooms and shower trays & enclosures, and common reasons people contact us are water getting behind the bath or tray and black spots in the silicone.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Millerston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Is resealing worth it?

A reseal is one of the cheapest bathroom jobs there is. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

When to call us in Millerston

No sealant lasts for ever. Every bath or shower adds moisture and soap residue, which mould feeds on, and the joint flexes each time the bath fills.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Missing sealant behind the taps
  • Sealant that’s split or lifting
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Black mould in the sealant

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Sinks and worktops

We reseal basins, vanity tops and kitchen worktops, once the joint is completely dry.

Shower trays

We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after showers
  • Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the joints dry

Good ventilation is the best protection, and wipe the joints after use so mould struggles to take hold.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes around two hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
